Notes for Moses Arnold
Date of death for Moses Arnold from Cinnet's application for a marriage licence to Moses Hoover. There is no burial listed for Moses Arnold in Lester Binnie's books of Wabash & Kosciusko Co. cemetery records. Nor was his death registered with the Wabash Co. health department. (Death records start in 1887.) He must have died elsewhere.
Census
1860 census of Madison twp, Montgomery Co., Ohio, taken 20 June, lists on p. 63, as family #438 the household of:
Moses Arnold, 24, b. OH, Lany 21 b. MD, Silas 4 b. OH, Lucinda 2 b. OH, David 1 b. OH. "Lany" is apparently a nickname for Magdalena. The age of Moses is not consistent with other records, nor with that of his twin brother Aaron, listed two pages earlier. It also seems unlikely that Magdalena married at age 13, but I don't know whether her age in this census is wrong, or the 1852 date on the marriage record. The fact that their oldest child was 4 in 1860 does suggest a marriage closer to 1855 or 1856 than 1852.
1870 census of Pleasant twp, Wabash County, Indiana, taken 17 Aug, lists on p. 53, as family #391 the household of:
Arnold, Moses 36 b. OH, Louisa 36 b. VA, Silas 12 b. OH, Lucinda 11 b. OH, Ella 9 b. OH, Stacia 4 b. IN. The age for Silas disagrees with that on the 1860 and 1880 censuses. The places of birth would seem to indicate that the family moved from Ohio to Indiana between 1861 and 1866.
1880 census of Pleasant twp, Wabash County, Indiana, taken 7 Jun, lists as family #158 the household of:
Arnold, Moses 46 b. OH (PA KY), Cinnet 26 b. IN (OH OH), Ellen 18 b. OH (OH MD), Stacia 14 b. IN (OH OH), Robert 7 b. IN (OH OH), Charles 4 b. IN (OH OH), Silas 24 b. OH (OH MD), Francis (wife) 19 b. IN (OH OH). Note that the place of birth for Stacia, Robert and Charles' mother does not agree with Louisa's place of birth in the 1870 census nor with Robert's mother's place of birth in the 1900 census (both of which say Virginia.)
1900 census of Paw-Paw twp, town of Roann, Wabash Co., IN, lists the household of:
Arnold, Moses b. Apr 1833, 67; Cinnet C., b. Aug 1855, 44; Robert, b. Aug 1872, 27; Dollie M. b. Jan 1884, 16; Grover H., b. Oct 1885, 14; the couple married 21 years, Cinnet the mother of 4 children, 2 living; Moses born in Ohio, his wife and all the children born in Indiana, Moses' father born in Pennsylvania and his mother born in Kentucky, Cinnet's parents both born in Ohio, Robert's mother born in Virginia. The birthdate of Apr 1833 for Moses is inconsistent with Lester Binnie's date of 1 Apr 1834, and is likely wrong since the earlier censuses are consistent with 1834 (except the 1860 census, which is way off.)
Moses Arnold, 24, b. OH, Lany 21 b. MD, Silas 4 b. OH, Lucinda 2 b. OH, David 1 b. OH. "Lany" is apparently a nickname for Magdalena. The age of Moses is not consistent with other records, nor with that of his twin brother Aaron, listed two pages earlier. It also seems unlikely that Magdalena married at age 13, but I don't know whether her age in this census is wrong, or the 1852 date on the marriage record. The fact that their oldest child was 4 in 1860 does suggest a marriage closer to 1855 or 1856 than 1852.
1870 census of Pleasant twp, Wabash County, Indiana, taken 17 Aug, lists on p. 53, as family #391 the household of:
Arnold, Moses 36 b. OH, Louisa 36 b. VA, Silas 12 b. OH, Lucinda 11 b. OH, Ella 9 b. OH, Stacia 4 b. IN. The age for Silas disagrees with that on the 1860 and 1880 censuses. The places of birth would seem to indicate that the family moved from Ohio to Indiana between 1861 and 1866.

IN (OH OH).

Oct 1885, 14; the couple married 21 years, Cinnet the mother of 4 children, 2 living; Moses born in Ohio, his wife and all the children born in Indiana, Moses' father born in Pennsylvania and his mother born in Kentucky, Cinnet's parents both born in Ohio, Robert's mother born in Virginia. The birthdate of Apr 1833 for Moses is inconsistent with Lester Binnie's date of 1 Apr 1834, and is likely wrong since the earlier censuses are consistent with 1834 (except the 1860 census, which is way off.)
Notes for Magdalena Utz
Her birthplace was listed as Maryland in the 1860 census, and in the 1880 census readings for her children Silas and Lucinda. But in the 1850 census of Carroll Co., Maryland, her birthplace was given as Pennsylvania. So it is most likely that she was born in Pennsylvania and grew up in Maryland.
